Profile: A pretty vanilla right-handed reliever. Throws his slider about 40% of the time. Effective against right-handed batters (26.4% strikeout rate, 7.9% walk rate, 3.64 xFIP in 2011); much less so against left-handers (17.7%, 14.3%, 4.99). Could get a chance to set-up, but unlikely to excel in role. (Carson Cistulli)
